  incorporated herein by reference.

















                                                                     5





Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

    On April 3, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of
merger among Northrop Corporation and the Company.  Pursuant to the
merger agreement, Northrop commenced a tender offer for the purchase of
all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $1.00
per share, at a purchase price of $62 per share net cash to the seller.
The offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 15,
1994.

    On April 18, 1994, Northrop announced that 32,766,109 shares
representing approximately 93.4% of all outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company, had been tendered pursuant to the offer and
accepted for purchase.  The purchase of such shares resulted in
Northrop acquiring control of the Company as of April 18, 1994.

    As a result of the Northrop/Grumman merger, the implementation of
the restructure plan, disclosed as of December 31, 1993, has been
temporarily delayed.  However, it is likely the bulk of the plan will
be implemented during the last six months of 1994.

    Merger related costs of $60 million, charged to earnings through
March 31 principally include compensation charges resulting from the
acceleration of benefits under the long term incentive plans and the
increase in the price of the Company stock.





                          Financial Condition

    During the first quarter of 1994, common  shareholders' equity
decreased by $19.7 million to $24.01 per common share from $24.55 at
December 31, 1993.  At March 31, 1994, the ratio of debt to capital
(debt plus shareholders' equity) was unchanged from 23 percent at
December 31, 1993.

    For the three months ended March 31, 1994, working capital
decreased $40.0 million from December 31, 1993.  The decrease was due
principally to the accrual of merger related costs, offset in part by
an increase in accounts receivable and inventories.  The Company had
available an aggregate of $300 million under its credit agreement and
short-term credit lines, none of which had been borrowed.  This
agreement was terminated on April 15, 1994.







                                                                     6

*Includes $60 million of merger related costs.


    Consolidated sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 of $644.2
million decreased $227.6 million (26%) from the comparable 1993
quarter.  Operating profits from continuing operations, before
interest, taxes and merger related costs decreased $9.8 million to
$52.6 million from $62.4 million for the quarter.  First quarter 1994
results include $60 million pretax of merger related costs.  Exclusive
of these costs, operating margins for the quarter improved to 8.2
percent from 7.2 percent one year ago while net income from continuing
operations decreased $4.6 million to $29.6 million from $34.2 million
in the 1993 quarter as a result of the decreased sales volume.  Merger
related costs in 1994 of $39 million after tax resulted in a net loss
of $9.4 million for the quarter.  A $6.7 million loss from discontinued
operations recorded in the first quarter of 1993, brought net income
for the 1993 quarter to $27.5 million.









                                                                      7

    Aerospace segment sales totaled $339.1 million for the first
quarter of 1994, a decrease of $209.4 million (38%) from the 1993
total.  Operating income decreased $10.9 million to $28.0 million from
$38.9 million a year ago.  However, operating margins for the 1994
quarter improved to 8.3 percent from 7.1 percent in 1993.  The
reduction in sales and profits were attributable to lower F-14
remanufacturing and A-6 modification sales, a decrease in E-2C Foreign
aircraft deliveries from one to none and fewer deliveries of
aerostructures components.

    Electronics Systems segment sales totaled $159.4 million in the
first quarter, a decrease of $8.1 million (5%) from the 1993 total, due
principally to lower simulation/trainers revenues, offset by improved
sales on the Joint STARS program.  Operating profits more than doubled
from $3.9 million to $8.3 million in the quarter primarily due to Joint
STARS program profits.

    First quarter 1994 Information and Other Services segment sales of
$141.9 million decreased $8.7 million from $150.6 million in 1993.
Operating profits of $7.8 million increased $500,000 from $7.3 million
in 1993.  The sales decline was related to the Space Station Program
Support contract which NASA scaled back and downsized significantly in
December 1993, and ultimately awarded this management job to Boeing.

    Special Purpose Vehicles segment sales totaled $97.9 million in the
1994 first quarter, an increase of $3.5 million (4%) from $94.4 million
in the year-ago quarter.  The increase was due to increased revenues in
Postal Truck Vehicles and higher unit deliveries of aluminum trucks.
Operating profits for the first quarter were $7.8 million compared to
$7.6 million in the 1993 quarter.  The increase reflects improved
profits on the Postal Truck Vehicles program.
